IWC Ingenieur AMG

IWC Ingenieur AMG

Originally introduced in 1954, the Ingenieur was a no-nonsense, highly technical and sturdy timepiece. It was intended for use in the most severe conditions, capable of withstanding all the natural enemies of an accurate movement: magnetism, temperature, water, rough shocks and heavy wear. According to early advertisements, the Ingenieur was targeted at the "man who expects the impossible from his watch." Alongside the new genre of dive watches, such as the Rolex Submariner and the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, which were also introduced in the ‘50's, the Ingenieur was the first sports watch on the market capable of withstanding all threats.
